Hey guys,
I'm trying to make more room in the new Tmo 2003 image that was posted. i looked at it and looks like there is 2.4 megs available for the data.
Can somebody point me in the direction to figure out how to rebuild new rom image by getting rid of some apps from the t-mobile ROM. i rather have my own apps in there, then what t-mobile puts in.
thanks
alex
in theory you could extract all existing tools using dumprom, and repackage them using makexip.pl, ut you will probably end up with something bigger, since I have not yet got around to implementing an interface to the compress.dll.
thanks for reply. guess i'll have to live with 2.4 megs free space for now.
alex
xda-developers,
i extracted the rom image and got rid of the files that i don't want. can u give me the parameters to run makexip.pl and try to build the new rom image?
thanks
alex
Ditto. Thanks,

Hmmm..... Just a quick question. IF i sent you a bootloader pic and a theme (all in proper format) would you be willing to add it to your kitchen?
It's a Star Trek Theme/bootpic I created.
I can't for the life of me get my kitchen to work at all.
yeah, of course, your contributions are always welcome! send it to: [email protected]
Hi all,
For some reason php is acting funny on my friend's box, using 100% of the available processor cycles every time it is invoked. We're working on fixing this, but I must say I have very little time these next few weeks. I suggest everyone that needs to cook using Yorch's kitchen for now.
Yorch: shall I just forward to yours for now?

not a problem Jeff, yeah, you can forward to mine. Hey I also need your help, I'm trying to add ROM 4.00.21 to my kitchen, We can't figure out how, if you could please email me or pm
Hi Jeff and York, im a newbie, and also want to make a kitchen too. can you show me how to download and install on my Linux Server?
thanks. [email protected]
Hi Yorch
Please add in yours ROM-kitchen - O2 ROM WM2003 4.00.11
i went to http://www.yorch.net and customised a rom but was not able to find how to download it.
can any one help me.
I want to run XDAunlock.exe on my phone when i run it now it says unable to get unlock code. some one said that i should upgrade my rom to xda-special rom-1.2 but i dont have linux. i downloaded jeffs executable rom but it was giving errors cannot find rom image.
Can you add a PPC 2002 Siemens SX56 rom to your kitchen (www.yorch.net), I tried the T-mobile but it doesn't have the same feel.
Can I unlock the phone using XDA unlock from the ROM created in your kitchen?
Is any one working on cooked 4.00.21 roms with working programs in the rom? :mrgreen:

If someone can help me get the necessary files to add that rom to the kitchen I will get it added. I just haven't been able to figure out how to get the necessary files.
I have searched before posting this.
What I want to do is to reload Winmobile 5 onto my TyTN WITHOUT the built-in apps like calendar, word, etc also being loaded in. I would like to load up the phone app but not anything else.
Can this be done please? If so how?
Thanks

I'm not an expert...but think you could try to cook your own ROM; modify the existing WM5 ROM you have and remove all the things you dont want to be there....
I don't know if the existing tools posted in the forum could also be used to modify a WM5 ROM...but could give it a try if you want.

Mablan
Mablan,
I was hoping it was a rather more simple process, such as using a special sequence of the bootloader to do this, rather than have to cook ROMS. Appreciate the thought though.
Anyone else able to throw some light on this question?
Thanks

I am afraid most of the programmes are part of the operating system and you will not find a rom here customised to your specs, the last poster was right if you want a stripped out rom to your specs you had better get cooking that is the only way. Look on the Wiki under Hermes for the info you need if you are into D.I.Y.
Guys,
Thanks for the info. Ah well, looks like I'm either off to find a cooked ROM or I live with what I have got.
Cheers

Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...
Regards
Z£Y$
Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!
Psi
Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.
The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$
Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.
I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755
Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi
@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!
Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.
Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi
m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$
I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

Hi!
Is it possible, to create a customized ROM image for artemis (and charmer)? what do i need, to achieve it?
Best,
Chris
Hi, you need to read this (will take time)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348536
Everybody says it takes time but that's nonsense if you are not talking about HUGE modifications like replacing integrated programs that are already integrated into the registry or whatever.
I'm currently working on video tutorials which will be done between 15.-28 February. I can customize my ROM in less than 5 minutes as soon as I have all my packages. If I change the packages I need maybe half an hour or so. This weekend I will publish my first small video.
I currently use this in combination with my packages: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=121552
If you know how do dump a ROM with HyperCore Kitchen then you can replace those files I guess and cook your own ROM. You might as well wait until February and not get confused by all the strange and overloaded tutorials out there. I'm not saying that they are bad but they often include EVERYTHING and makes the general ROM newbie confused.
Basically you need to download a ROM, dump it, add some packages and flash it again - that's how I do it.
thanks for your help!
i installed the latest rom from the ftp-directory und now my storage memory is only 32mb, before this it was 48 mb... why is this? can i influence it?
best, chris
I've now created a new os.nb and it works fine. thanks...
how can i manipulate the the splashscreen? i haven't found any infos in the cookbooks except the tools to change it. but i want to change them in nbh-file.
I just recently got his phone and i was wondering What is a rom, what does it do and how do you get a new one. What would be the point of getting a new one?
I also was wondering if anybody had any great freeware that combined a bunch of programs into one. Im looking for a simple battery meter (im using LvmTopBat)
I need a program for AIM other than octro talk, I Also need one for threaded messaging. I was using Palm_threaded_SMS but it had some glitches on my phone. I was usuing Minimo but it seemed to freeze alot so does anybody know of any good tabbed browing web browsers? i also wanted a program to free up any unused memory on my phone. Is Oxios Memory anygood?
And if anybody has used UI Tweaker Could anyone explain to me what each selection so i know what im changing the color of. Thanks for any help i get.
Custom ROMs are usually a lot more stable and perform much better in different aspects. There are programs for almost anything, you just need to search for them

if you install the latest DCD rom 3.2.5 and radio 3.42.50... you will have threaded SMS. It also allows you to use the internal GPS. Go to the upgrades forum... and READ! The WIKI on how to is in my signature as well as links to the latest rom and radio. Good luck!

the wki how to link does not seem to work and i read a bit about this new rom and multiple people have said its slower than stock. also what is rev-a. does that have something to do with free tethering? sorry if this is a stupid question. Im just really new to all this.
also what is the differnce between the rom and the kitchen. I notice there are two downloads. if anybody has the time or can tell me how to do it real quick i would just like a step by step on how to install this rom. Do i need to do a hard reset?
The kitchen is used to cook the ROM. The ROM is what you install on the device. First install hardspl on the device and then run the ROM of your liking. After the flash, be sure to perform a hard reset.

This wiki... Titan Recent should explain it all. It is step by step. The only thing you may have to substitute... if it hasn't been updated is the correct files. IE... 3.42.50 radio... and 3.2.5 rom. The kitchen allows you to select different programs that DCD didn't include in the ROM. If you download the kitchen, you can leave it alone... run BuildNB.bat and just "Play" that... and it will work the same as the ROM that DCD made for everyone to use.
